and he laughed

Not Trevy. Although he's done his fair share of smiling today! Even at hospital staff...when he's not screaming at them for poking him or pulling stitches.



But it was another guy who laughed.



Dr. Rockstar.



When I told him that...



Today is wonderful!



But a few days ago?



I was suffering a nasty case of Buyer's Remorse!



I don't think he's ever had another parent voice that to him before. It was kinda fun...

You know it must warm Dr. Rockstar's heart to hear words like that! Just like it does our's!

So thankful things are turning around and hope y'all are in your own little nest soon.....

Def tell him, when you get the discharge though!

So glad the Trevy is coming through this.

We had a talk today and decided that drug-controlled seizures is what we should aim/hope for. Not being negative but trying to be realistic. And if in years to come we say, "Oh yes, my son is epileptic, but he takes his drugs and he's fine, has been for years....then that's just fine by us."

How times & expectations change.

God bless and get home soon! xxx

Katy...I think it's good to be realistic too. Like knowing just how big the scar will be for instance! It's shocking...but then it's healed up so quickly too! Which is also shocking. :)

Anyway...I really deeply appreciated your thoughts.

Yeah I'm with Elaine, I want to know his reaction to the Rockstar thing, or the fact that all of us talk about him on the WWW.

yeah, definitely tell him...as you are walking out of the door. You don't want to give him a case of the "big head" while you are there. He might keep you forever then. =-)

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
